This past Monday, inbetween their usual Morning Run updates ("quick, easy, and entertaining") and the wedding themed podcasts featuring Jennie Garth, both T.J. and Amy had this to share:

They have been living together for the last few weeks, basically since mid-September.

They are training for the Chicago Marathon, of which Amy is on track, but poor T.J. he is struggling a lot. A month behind as a matter of fact. But that won't stop them when they announced they will have a meet-and-greet session in Chicago a few days before the race. Take that as you will, but I find that to be very fascinating. :)

After one year, they summarized their fall from grace with what I expected them to say:
"We were not feeling comfortable being out and about. We were just getting back on social media and a little scared, not a little scared, (but) a lot scared to get back out in the public (eye.)"

They planned on doing podcasts from their two alma maters, Amy at the University of Georgia and T.J. from the University of Arkansas. By the time Halloween rolls around, they will be flying again across the Atlantic--this time to Spain. However, there is no direct flight, so wish them luck getting there, let alone trying to get back to the States.

Stories that I didn't feel comfortable in sharing, but still definitely worth listening to include:
Amy's oldest daughter Ava having quite a major problem in the village where T.J. said it was nice having apartments across from each other. Very convenient if you can get that type of arrangement.

Dining out, but on the side of a road literally had them fearing for their lives. Just you wait until they paint the picture on what really happened.

Sure hope their busy times will be both fun and eventful. Basically, keep up with their Morning Run every weekeday which they usually record by 5 a.m. Eastern time (around the similar time when they would get ready to head to the ABC News studios to prep for that morning's GMA), especially in Amy's case having done it for several years.

Two jam-packed episodes on Friday.

First, they debuted a new sub series called True Crime.
They had as their guest probably one of the most famous prosecutors in U.S. history (at least in terms of general celebrity circles considering the magnitude of the case in 1994 and 1995.)

Since Marcia Clark lost that famed case, she is still practicing criminal law all of these years later. Marcia has written nine crime fiction novels and has one non-fiction book. She is also a journalist, educator, even a TV producer.

Shes also talked about a podcast called Informants Lawyer X, where in the description briefly says, "As they balance volatile relationships with criminals and law enforcement, they must probe for information without raising any red flags...so, why do they do it? For the greater good? For personal gain? The answers are as complicated as the double lives they lead."

You would need a subscription to Wondery+ to access all episodes.

I also decided to mention this since Thursday, October 10 is World Mental Health Day. That verdict took a serious toll on her mental health that very few would have known about, since she was solidly against having cameras in the courtroom. But as the "circus" played on, we all bought into it--every day (and it was great filler programming during the 1994 baseball strike that August and September.)

Another small point is that when Amy lost her job, her time spent on 20/20 with ABC News Tonight anchor David Muir was mostly swept under the rug publicity wise--at least that's most of the media thought at that time, because we all focused on their big time flirtations live on GMA3 (whereas 20/20 I believe is recorded.)

Journalists, similar to prosecutors and defendants--they are storytellers at heart. And all Marcia wants is to seek the truth. However, it is not plain and simple as we all think it could be.
It truly is a fascinating listen if you are into salacious and juicy crime tales:

On to the fun stuff...
After the usual depressing news on their usual "Morning Run", they talked about the fact that they are in Chicago getting ready to run the annual Chicago Marathon early Sunday morning. They mentioned that they will be appearing at the Abbott Health and Fitness Expo inside the famed McCormick Place, mostly to have a meet and greet with fans. (Most of us think of the enormous exhibition hall as the place where the annual Chicago Auto Show takes place every February.)

They will also be doing their first live podcast. Yes, you read that right. It starts Friday at 4 p.m. Central time, and it will be uploaded hopefully during the weekend and into part of this coming week. It might be one episode, or maybe a small series, who knows?

Bottom line, here is the link:

"Amy and T.J. discuss how they ended up in an ambulance instead of crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon."

Oh oh. :?

At first read, my mind was thinking that T.J. or Amy either tripped by an edge of a sidewalk leading to the street, or perhaps accidentally bumped into a volunteer handing out water or food to keep their energy up.

Instead, it turned out to be a lot worse regarding T.J. this past Sunday.

Both of them started the morning hoping to find the runner's tent, where they would be assigned their numbers and where their assignments were. For those not into running, it was where the bathrooms (the porta potties lines are usually upwards of an hour :shock:) were, so every runner could eat the proper food and electrolytes to get energy from drinking.

After asking upwards of 20 plus people, they wasted over 30 minutes to finally find a local person--but they couldn't get back in time to meet at the proper corral.

Even worse, they had no water bottles and no food. A total disaster on race day, even though the weather was gorgeous, temperatures around the upper 50's when the race started and a decent breeze.

They managed to finally get some bananas, water, and Gatorade during the first half of the 26.2 mile run throughout many neighborhood streets dotting the north and northwest sides of Chicago, dotted with lots of cool ethnic shops, a few grocery stores, and restaurants.

But around Mile 21, that's when things turned for the worse.

Several outlets picked up the story, which almost sounds like a page ripped out of Chicago Med:

The Independent:
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/tj-holmes-marathon-injury-amy-robach-b2629097.html

Page Six had their general marathon information, complete with their bib numbers:
https://pagesix.com/2024/10/14/celebrity-news/t-j-holmes-leaves-chicago-marathon-on-stretcher-after-injury/

Sure hope he somehow gets healthy.

Fans of horror movies should listen to this one hour plus podcast.

From one horror show on the streets of Chicago earlier this week to another in the fictional world, a classic movie franchise that brought the world one very scary character is the focus.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" first hit theaters in 1984, and brought on several sequels in the years that followed.

Amy and T.J. managed to catch up with the actors who played both Freddy Kreuger and Nancy Thompson--Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp who sat down for an exclusive interview. The podcast notes mentioned how they were, "sharing their greatest memories from filming the franchise and how they grew from the process."

A spooky good time awaits:

From Sunday, here is the story in their own words about how they first became friends while working at ABC News to becoming true lovers.

Right away, the big question was--what is the difference between lust and love?

Ponder that while you hear the podcast:
